Who Clinton really wants to win

John Brummett of the Arkansas News Bureau has an interesting article asking what has led to William Clinton’s wildly inapt behavior that has so damaged his wife’s campaign. (However, as VFR reader Emily B. persuasively argues here, black voters were already tending strongly toward Obama before Clinton’s race comments alienated them further.) First, Brummett shows that inappropriate statements by Clinton are nothing new; throughout his political career he has engaged in self-absorbed conduct that damaged his own side. Then Brummett offers a more particular theory about Clinton’s destructive actions in this race.
